I’m pleased to be able to offer our held-back 2016 La Chiave and Un Segreto wines for immediate release – while I plan to hold back the 2016 Genesis a tad longer, offering our 2015 vintage at last year’s price while we have stock. The wines have developed beautifully and have an added complexity and depth from their extra time in bottle – getting better every time I taste them. I’m so chuffed that we are at last able to fulfil our long- cherished ambition of being able to offer our Cru wines with some bottle age at release.

Along with our Cru wines, we have some very exciting new wines on offer:

A new vintage of Sauvage – shades of Genesis. Made rarely and always great value.

A new vintage of Allegro rosé which had been long-sold-out.

A new vintage of Ingénue that too sells out almost as soon as it’s released.

A new wine: the much-anticipated estate-grown Chenin Blanc, simply called Chenin. A new variety for Beechworth – very exciting.

A new vintage of our Growers’ Selection

Quasibianco, our skin-contact Riesling; this time also in a 750ml bottle.

A new vintage of Growers’ Selection Roussanne – every bit as good as the much-lauded 2015 vintage.

A new vintage of Growers’ Selection Savagnin, that delightful grape variety which was widely planted in Australia when it was thought to be Albariño, before DNA tests proved it otherwise. Delicious and very Jura.

Now some news about Open Day. If you were wondering, we have decided to take a year off this year, mainly because we need to make some alterations and the timing just doesn’t fit. I hope that all of you who come each year won’t be too disappointed. In its stead we thought we’d have a Barrel Room lunch, if I can get it together in time before Christmas. I will let you know details once we know.
